Sound Familiar? The mall has been in the news for plenty of the wrong reasons in recent years (since blacks took it over). Fights, shootings even death.
But Northland Center mall is now one step closer to closing its doors for good. Macy's is now leaving. After more more than half a century here, the store will close in eight to 12 weeks.
It is the final remaining anchor store, which was originally Hudson's when the mall opened.
"This was a difficult decision to close stores that no longer meet our performance requirement," says Andrea Schwartz, vice president of Macy's media relations. "Our decision is based on consumer preferences and you know, it's the shoppers that drive the success and you know traffic patterns do change."
With a mostly empty parking lot Thursday night, it was hard to not notice it.
"When I was a little kid we used to come out to Northland," says Sharon Eatmon. "It was such a big treat but I guess because the economy and this, that and the other, things have changed so drastically that we have what we have now."
